>> well, chris, what it looks like happened here is that morsi, president morsi of egypt, seized these powers in part to ram this constitution through the constitutional assembly. and now that it's through the constitutional assembly and we have this referendum coming up on saturday, he's sort of maneuvering to try to weaken the opposition to it. you saw he partially rescinded his seizing of those extra powers. he's also coopted the military by giving them sort of special status in this constitution. frankly, chris, he's also in a sense weakened international opposition by doing certain cooperative things in terms of regional politics and regional stability. so it's all a very savvy set of moves by morsi. but we'll see if it succeeds on saturday. >> the national salvation front, which is an alliance of these prominent opposition figures, is warning that a referendum amid the current political crisis will actually plunge the country into even more chaos. what are your thoughts? what are the chances this referendum will happen on saturday? and, if so, what will be the outcome? >> i do th

they're discussing the possibility of president morsi visiting the united states in february. there is a serious dialogue between egypt and the united states about a whole host of issues, including the gaza cease-fire and hamas in which egypt is playing an important role. and hillary clinton, as well as the white house, have called for the egyptians to engage in a broader dialogue because the stakes with egypt as one quarter of the arab population couldn't be greater. >> so you don't expect anything different than what we've heard from hillary clinton at this point? >> no, but if the tensions play out in a tougher way on the streets, i think the administration will be under pressure to do something or say something more publicly about what's happening. >> there are new developments in syria, robin opinion u. irobin. there are reports that syria is prepared to use chemical weapons. hillary clinton speak about it in brussels yesterday. >> we sent an unmistakable message we that an would cross a red line and those responsible would be held to account. we intend to make that view

if he did this, would he have had to meet with several people, morsi, other allies in europe. i'm surprised that it came down to one or none. it should have been several or none. none being the political calculus and several being the white house presidential calculus. >> let's it talk about the substance of what we're going to hear today and jamie, would this be a fair assess the ment of th president's policy success or not on n are a, that there has been a somewhat mixed success? obviously the sanctions have had some effect. he's had success if n. getting other world leaders to put pressure on iran, but no more than his presentdecessors. >> yes, but i think it would be hard to say sanctions have had an effect. the effect designed was to convince iran to adjust, downgrade and perhaps zsuspend his nuclear program. it's not to hurt their economy. and clearly doing grave damage to the people that. but it isn't doing what the sanctions were intended to do, which is to change iran's policy on the enrichment of uranium. that has not changed. arguably it's gotten worse because they'
